“Olympia” is where Jazz and Brazilian rhythms meet and proceed to heat up the dance floor DJ/Producer Gerardo Frisina fuses his production skills, particularly his clever use of samples along with his love of Brazilian music. The five track EP is bookend by two uptempo bass driven tunes. The title track is driven by a soaring piano melody and vocal samples. The latter “Obsession” layered with tasty vibes and congas. “Talking Sticks” is filled with funky wah wah guitar and organ rhythms, capped off a seductive baritone sax solo. One year after the LP release “Movement”, Frisina continues to experiment with a variety of sounds that will seduce you not only to dance but to listen over and over.
